| This symposium will present a conceptual model for work on Latina health education and advocacy, based on lessons learned from translation/cultural adaptation of Our Bodies, Ourselves for use by women from Latin America and the Caribbean and U.S. Latinas. Nuestros Cuerpos, Nuestras Vidas includes women's health information while emphasizing participatory methodologies and highlighting exemplary groups North and South working on every aspect of women's health and gender justice. NCNV's publication offers opportunities to share strategies for culturally informed, community based women's health education linked to local, national and international movements for gender equity and social change. Symposium paperes will include: NCNV's cultural adaptation to reflect Latina cultural concepts and values in health education content, emphasis on participation and collaboration, and connection between achieving personal well-being and participating in social change; strategies for linking women's health promotion with social justice movements, including work on "Bejing plus Five" and "Bringing Bejing Home"; case studies from Latin America which apply a reproductive health and rights framework to re-conceptualize family planning services and to evaluate the quality of public health services in the light of women's citizenship and user's rights; and the U.S. National Latina Institute for Reproductive Health's approach to regional and national organizing of Latina providers and activists in reproductive health and rights. The symposium will reserve substantial time for dialogue between presenters and audience participants to discuss implications for Latina health education, political activism, and community organizing which builds bridges among Latinas and Latin American women locally, regionally, nationally and internationally | ||||
